Displaying Locations Details for an Essence
 
In the File Info pane, for the essence package selected in the Essence Packages area, all essences are shown in the Essences area, and for the essence selected in the Essences area, the locations where it has been saved are shown in the Locations area. For the location selected in the Locations area, you can display technical data in the Location Details area; by default the Location Details area is collapsed. All location and location details data is read-only.
To display location details for an essence:
1. Open the asset for which you want to display location details in the File Info pane.
2. Select the essence package in the Essence Packages area.
3. Select the essence in the Essences area.
4. Select the location in the Locations area.
5. Click the Expand button of the Location Details area to display the location details.
The following location details are shown:
- Name: Shows the file name of the essence’s copy on that location. During its lifecycle the essence may have been renamed in Interplay MAM. The original name of the essence is shown as value of the Original Name property in the Essence Details area.
- Size: Size of the essence’s copy on that location in bytes.
- Carrier: A GUID for the carrier to identify references to essences by locations contained on that carrier; it also specifies which pool a carrier currently resides in.
- Path: The path where the essence’s copy is located. This can be either a UNC path or a relative file path. For files located directly in the essence pool’s root, the path is empty.
- Online State: Indicates the online status of the essence’s copy on that specific location: Available or Not Available.
- Near Online State: Indicates the near online status of the essence’s copy on that specific location: Available or Not Available.
- Recording State: Indicates whether the file is still being recorded to the specific location: Recording or Complete.
- Location GUID: The Globally Unique Identifier of the location. The location GUID is used internally by Interplay MAM to exactly define and identify the location, for example if path names are changed.
